Dekany will be joined by a film crew from the Nature of Things on Wednesday.

“I invited them into my home so they can stay with me and always be right on the water. I’m still blown away that they are coming.” Dekany said.
He thinks being featured on The Nature of Things will show others that New Brunswick is dealing with just as much as anywhere else.
“It will show how strong our community actually is, how we all put together and we can face anything Mother Nature can throw at us,” Dekany said.
